  What would you call what woolf is describing? I'm curious because the ideas expressed in his post are how I feel everyday.

    I'd say that the post very accurately describes the problem of self-esteem based on comparisons with others and/or current trends. Which is a big problem indeed. However it's a problem only partially connected to Impostor Syndrome, which is defined as an inability to attribute own success to own competences. People suffering from IS attribute their success to luck or "faking". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome
